How level of fat contained in US cereal effect calories?

The above graph was about the data of 65 different cereals product and the type of nutrition contained in the cereals of US. The graph shows the relationship between level of fat that US cereal contained and how it effected in calorie gain. We can see that increase in the level of fat cause gain in calorie for most of the Cereals except for few. Also, we can say that most of the cereals contained fat level between 0 to 6.5 and their calories gained lie between 0 to 250. However, there’re very few cereals having higher fat level more that 8 and gained around 350 calories.

The 2nd graph shows the same thing as first one, but it is visually unattractive than the first one; because the data labels are in the interior of the scale rectangle that clutters the graph. This is quite interfering and not able to clearly visual all labels as well. Another problem with this graph is the use of bigger unfilled triangular symbols that are completing blocking other neighbor values. Use of smaller dots or small circles would reduce these kind of problems.

The third graph contains one more variable (nutrition contained in US cereals), “sugar” and how it is associated with the level of fat and its impact on calorie gain. Increase in size and brightness of circle indicates the increase of sugar levels in US cereals. Moreover, this explains that higher the level of fat and sugar, higher the calories will be gained. Apart from this, there are few cereals at the top left of the graph which contain zero fat and moderate sugar level but have highest calories. This is an exceptional case and may contain any other nutrition that cause more calorie.
